Solar Electrician in Tucson
Electrical Service for the Solar System You Already Own
Already have solar but need someone to work on it?
JCP Electric provides electrical service, repairs, upgrades, and battery work for existing residential solar systems in Tucson. We are not trying to sell you a new solar system. We are the electricians you can call when you already have solar and need something repaired, replaced, expanded, or connected.
Solar systems can last for decades, but the companies that installed them do not always stick around that long. Equipment fails. Homeowners buy houses with solar systems installed by someone else. Batteries need to be added or expanded. Panels get damaged. Electrical equipment gets old.
That is where we come in.
Solar Electric Repairs
A problem with a solar system does not necessarily mean you need a new solar system.
JCP Electric can troubleshoot electrical problems involving an existing solar installation and determine what can be repaired or replaced.
Depending on the system and availability of compatible equipment, we may be able to help with:
- Electrical troubleshooting and repairs
- Damaged or failed solar equipment
- Wiring, breakers, disconnects, and electrical connections
- Replacement of damaged solar panels that are no longer covered by warranty
- Electrical work required when other solar components are replaced
- Problems discovered after buying a home with an existing solar system
We will look at the system you have before recommending what needs to be done.
Battery Installations and Expansions
You do not necessarily need a new solar system just because you want battery storage.
JCP Electric can install battery backup systems for homes with existing solar and evaluate options for homeowners who want to expand their current battery capacity.
Maybe you originally installed one battery and discovered that it does not provide enough overnight runtime. Maybe your electricity use has increased. Or perhaps your original solar installation did not include batteries at all.
Adding storage to an existing system can be possible, but compatibility matters. The existing inverter, battery equipment, electrical panel, system configuration, and the amount of power you want to back up all need to be considered.
Before buying another battery, it is worth figuring out exactly what you want the system to accomplish.
Replacing Damaged Solar Panels
Solar panels are designed to spend decades outside, but they are not indestructible.
Panels can be damaged by weather, debris, physical impact, electrical problems, or simply fail over time. If the original installer or manufacturer is no longer handling the repair under warranty, replacing a damaged panel does not necessarily mean replacing the entire array.
JCP Electric can evaluate damaged equipment and determine whether an appropriate replacement is available and what electrical work is required to safely integrate it with the existing system.
Bought a House With Solar?
This is becoming increasingly common in Tucson.
You bought the house. The solar system came with it. You may have had nothing to do with choosing the installer, panels, inverter, or battery system.
Then something stops working.
JCP Electric can troubleshoot existing solar electrical systems even when we were not the original installer. We can help identify the equipment you have, diagnose electrical problems, and explain your options.
Your Solar Company Is Gone. Now What?
Solar has grown rapidly in Arizona, and not every company that installed systems over the past decade is still around.
Even when the original company still exists, your equipment may be outside its workmanship warranty, the problem may not be covered, or you may simply need electrical work that the original installer does not provide.
You still own the equipment on your house.
Our job is not to sell you another solar system. Our job is to figure out what can be done with the one you already have.
